When we went to Florida to see my grandparents, we went to Sea World. My grandparents live in a retirement center called "The Villages". It's called 'the Disney World for golfers' since golfing is my grandparents favourite hobby it is an ideal place for them. It actually has other activities for the residents including botchi ball, carpentry, tennis, dancing, anything you like to do. We live in Texas and it is a pretty tiring 19 hour drive . Especially when you do it all at one shot, taking only gas breaks. So as you can imagine, the drivers (my mom and dad) were pretty tired by the end of the trip, so when we arrived at our destination they hit the bed pretty hard. While our parents rested we went to the family swimming pool with our grandparents and our mom's aunt (every 'area' in the villages in the villages has a family pool and an adult pool). A few days later we went to Seaworld. When we arrived, our grandparents, who had been there before, got a map and headed for Key West at Seaworld. There, we went to Stingray Lagoon where we got to touch stingrays. After that we went to the Dolphin Feeding Area at Dolphin Cove.

I'm the one with the orange shirt feeding the dolphin. My papa is the one next to me with the turqouis shirt and the backpack. My dad is at the corner with the blue shirt next to the girl in the white shirt who is my sister. After Dolphin Cove we went to Turtle Point, then the Dolphin Nursery. We then went to the Shamu Stadium.
Again, I'm in the orange shirt with my siblings beside me. After a spectacular show, we decided to have lunch, and sat down Mango Joe's Cafe. After lunch we went to the Wild Artic in a helicaopter, we saw Beluga Whales, Polar Bears, and Walruses. After that we went to the Shark Encounter, then the Sea Lion and Otter Stadium. We then went to the Pacific Point Preserve and the Penguin Encounter.

Again, that's me, not at ALL looking good. After the Penguin Encounter we went on The Journey to Atlantis 4 or 5 times which was fun. We were pretty refreshed and awakened after a few splashes in the face and I was glad when it was announced that we were going to get some Soft Serve Ice Cream. Then, with ice cream in our stomachs, we went to the Manatee Rescue then to see some alligators. After that we visited the Whale and Dolphin Theater.....

....and here we are again! Then it started to get dark and we drove back to the Villages. And so ended our tiresome and busy, but EXTREMELY fun day.
Here is the map so that you can trace our adventure for yourself:
